Hi! My name is Jaider, I am five years old and I live in Uraba, Colombia. I’m now in 1st grade and I am learning how to read and write. What I like the most about school is that I get to learn a lot of new things and I also get to play with my friends.
When I was born I was diagnosed with a malformation in my mouth called cleft palate. This malformation makes it very difficult for me to speak and to eat. Thanks to your donations, I was able to undergo surgery and through speech therapy I have improved my pronunciation, it’s now easier for me to interact with people.
Thank you for giving me the chance to smile!
Would you like to see more children from Uraba smile? We invite you to share this with others and spread Jaider’s happiness!
